Percentages: Part Of One Hundred

One of my favorite exercises is putting a penny on each of the numbers on the hundreds chart.

Decimals And Percents

What are decimals?

Decimals are simply solved fractions, one number divided by another, and become easy with practice. They are part of a number based on ten or tenths.

What are percents?

Percents are hundredths, a ratio that compares a number to one hundred. The symbol for percent is %, (one cent is 1/100).

Percents are simply a fraction of one hundred. The Latin root for hundred is cent which is where the word percent originates. Our pennies and cents, too, as they are one hundredth part of a dollar.

Have the children copy the equations while saying the number outloud so as to memorize these equivalent operations. Then practice several times orally like using flash cards, so children can make the association in their school work.

These basic sheets offer copywork of the most common fraction to percent to decimal conversions that most of us have memorized or know at a glance. They're perfect for beginner 2nd and 3rd grade mental math.

Kids have a real head start when they realize that 1/4 = .25 = .250 = a quarter. These all have the same proportion or ratio.

Teaching Decimals: Money And Measurement

Dollars and Cents: Money Uses Percents

Our fractions decimals percents worksheets teach the concept of a part and then comparing it to both decimals and fractions. Once your students can count to a hundred they can usually grasp the idea of one hundred pennies in a dollar and that the Latin word for hundred was related to the word cent. One penny is one cent.

Decimals are the foundation of understanding percents as with dollars and cents. Most children are familiar with money and how one dollar is worth one hundred pennies.

You can show the children ten rows of ten pennies to show that one cent is one/hundredth. They usually can see that one percent of a dollar is one cent and the connection with one hundred becomes more obvious.

If kids see that the decimals are all parts of ten or one hundred, they can learn about cents and money.

Metric Measurements Use Percents

Metric measurements that use the centi- prefix as with centimeter, centigram, centiliter use the same principle as percents in that they are each one one-hundredth part.

Centi- is the base word for "percent". 

100 Beads on an Abacus: At-A-Glance Percents Or Decimals

An abacus is an excellent at-a-glance way to show one hundred in a way that is easy to show that one bead is one/hundredth of the beads on the rack.

Older students who understand multiplication, division, and fractions can understand percents if they understand that the fraction is simply over 100. 

Division is the foundation for understanding percents. Simply divide by 100 or move the decimal place to the left by two spaces.
